Struggle for Economic Security
In the first two installments, we discussed the efforts of
early man and some of the present day peoples to achieve
economic ^security. Today we go to the .Orient to see what
has been going' on there. This trouble spot centers around
Japan and thereby hangs quite a tale.
Eighty years ago, the Japanese were a primitive people
—one of the world's oldest and most peaceful. They still
fought with bows and arrows. They were quite content with
their lot and the only fault anyone could find with them, was
that they wished to be left alone. But that couldn't be.
England, France, Holland, yes, even Amjerica had merchandise they wished to sell to the backward Japanese. The Japs,
therefore, were given the choice of getting "civilized" or getting blown out of the water. They quite wisely chose to become "civilized," and as a result became good customers of
the aforementioned nations.
Japan has never forgiven England, France, Holland and
America for that deep humiiation. The day of reckoning may
come.
At first the program worked out very satisfactorily for
America and the other nations involved. Then it backfired
with a violence that made all parties concerned wish they
. had never heard of Japan. Almost in a twinkling of history's
eye, these amazing little pupils had, learned all their masters'
tricks and were flooding the world markets with goods of
their own manufacture at prices their erstwhile masters had
believed impossible. The new customer had jumped over the
counter and become a vicious competitor.
But it didn't stop there. The Nipponese began to read
history and soon discovered the old formula for empire. Having copied every,other way of the white man, they quite
naturally copied this one. They built an army, and. a iiavy
and looked around for fields to conquer. The logical place to
. start was in, the huge, rich-, sprawling, undeveloped areas of
China.; It "seemed perfectly in order to march in and "civilize"
the Chinese, thereby, creating a controlled, customer, for
, Japanese .gowls and opening valuable- sources a£_eaw,.ma_aej'iaL

Schools Resume
Regular Class
Work Thursday
Rapid Drop in Cases of Flu
Among Children Permits
Reopening of Schools and
Community Building
Due to the sudden 'drop of flu
cases among school children, North
Canton public and parochial schools
will resume their regular class
work Thursday morning.
In an announcement made late
Tuesday evening, Superintendent
Raymond Trachel stated that after
consultation with local physicians
and the school board, it was decided that it would be just as well for
the children to return to school,
since they were beginning to congregate in other places.
- The doctors said that cases
among the children had dropped
very low since the first of the week
although there were still a number
of adults ill.
St. Paul's school will open Thursday, morning as was announced
Sunday by Rev. Fr. Anthony Mechler. The school had closed Friday
noon and it was decided to dismiss
their classes until Thursday morning.
The Community , building also
plans to resume its'regular schedule as far as the juvenile program
goes and clubs will again hold
their regular sessions. Only adult
classes and meetings have been
held there since last Wednesday
evening.
The library has been keeping
regular hours since the beginning
of the week'and other community
activities will shortly resume their
full program.

books were written. Japan agreed that v maybe the rules j
should be changed but politely asked that the change be delayed until they had gotten their full share of the loot. So
saying, they proceeded with characteristic thoroughness to
conquer a large part of China. Russia had a go at trying to
stop them but soon abandoned the project.
This placed the Western Powers in a very embarrassing
position. It was difficult for them! to drum up much righteous
indignation when the jam of their own depredations was
still on their fingers. They couldn't deny that all Japan knew
had been" learned from them. The net result was that they
muttered a few sanctimonious r^provals, and continued to
sell Japan the materials she needed with which to expedite
the slaughter of the Chineser
Next week in the final installment, we will attempt to
summarize what all these things mean to America.

British Battleship Reported Hit by Nazis

Civilization Has Obligation
A National Committee on Food for the Five Small Democracies, with Herbert Hoover as its honorary chairman,
has been organized to "raise a voice in behalf" of the people
of Finland, Norway, Holland, Belgium and Central Poland.
How to make food available to these people without it
being seized by the Nazis, is being considered. The Hoover
organization and the British government both know that Germany has systematically looted her conquered territories of
food and supplies. Both know that the blockade is England's
most deadly weapon, and that weakening of the blockade
would weaken Great Britain's ultimate power to destroy the
Nazi tyranny.
But how to relieve suffering still rem-ains a problem for
, civilized people. Commenting on sending food to them, the
New York Times says editorially that Mr. Hoover "can point
to the safeguards with which he has surrounded his proposals
—safeguards resting not on German faith, but on German
performance. The distribution of food would tie strictly in the
hands of a neutral agency as it was in Belgium during the
whole of the World War. No more than two weeks' supply of
i,imported food would be permitted inside any occupied country at any time. If any of this food should be diverted to
German uses, or if Germany should resume looting of the
occupied lands, the shipments from America would stop; and
Germany would be branded finally and conclusively, in the
minds of the conquered peoples themselves, as the sole cause
of the misery that would ensue.
'It may be important," says the Times, "in the winning
of the war and in the rebuilding of democracy, that responsibility should thus be pinned unmistakably onto Germany."
Can human sympathy and realities of the British blockade be correlated so as to benefit starving, helpless people?
It would seem that human intelligence could find a way.
Hometown Thoughts—
The people do not say "Good by": to their dollars when
.they spend them at-home. Those dplars keep circulating
"icround town, and making the home-town more, prosperous
cfor everybody. . . ~.y■-'■
'■ 'Ifi: "Greet the unseen with a cheer" was the word of a
lamous poet, and is a good motto for a New Year. Also not
merely with a cheer, but a resolve to do better work than
ever before.
The northern cities have great trouble shoveling snow,
but snow is not the most difficult thing to get rid of. Indifference to ttie interests of the home town is worse than
any snow drifts. ,

Fire Department
Gives Annual Report
Thirty-One Calls Answered;
Eight in Village
The North Canton fire department answered 31 calls in 19-^0,
averaging almost three calls each
month. Eight of the runs were
made to places in the village; three
for rubbish fires, one for a burning
chimney, and one to the Hoover
company.
The other 23 calls were made
outside the village limits and were
six grass .fires and 17 burning
buildings.
New equipment purchased by the
department during the year included two 8x12 tarpaulins, six
firemen's coats, 300 feet of inch
and a half hose, one set of flares
and 12 foamite recharges.
AT SEA The 31,000-ton British battleship Malaya, which the Nazis said reached Gibralter showing extensive damage from an attack on a British flotilla made by German and Italian planes. Nazi sources said
the British tried to conceal the identity of the ship and to hide traces of damage. This phase of the war
is looked upon by military leaders as a crucial point. The eternal question of recent, modern warfare has
been: battleships or planes? If modern planes can easily sink a naval man-o-war, then the terrific investment has all been in vain. If, on the other hand, warships can withstand the onslaught of airplanes,
and still serve their ultimate purpose, the nation with the greatest naval strength will be supreme. If
German planes succeed in driving the British fleet from the Mediterranean it will be a serious blow to
the Allies. " •

that school children are for the
present forbidden the freedom of
the building, which is now open to
adults only.
Members of the staff who are
still at the building find time much
longer than in the busy days before the children were banished to
their homes. Clubs, social gatherings, planned pograms, all are
crossed out on the calendar, and
until the doors are unbarred and
swung open again it is going to be
an unfamiliar and solitary place to
spend those extra hours.

Mats, Inc., Olympics, Beat Hoover Teams
The Hoover representative teams
fared rather badly on Saturday
night as they went down to defeat
before Mats, Inc., and Stella
Walsh's Polish Olympic teams by
scores of 41 to 33 and 42 to 27.
Despite the prevailing flu epidemic, the games drew a fair crowd
but the basketball they saw was
far from being top-flight ball.
They did see it on the part of the
Mat team and to quite an extent
through portions of the girls game.
Had it not been for Evan
Schiltz, the boys team would have
taken ,a terrific- shellacking as the
latter poured 22 points through the
hoop to lead all scorers. The big
guns in the Mats attack were Deck-
erd and "Miller, "who tallied 26
points between them.
The visiting Canton aggregation
led throughout the game as the two
aforementioned boys displayed
deadly accuracy. It was Miller's
terrific work under the backboard
that enabled him to garner most
of his points.
Weakness in ball handling was
a decisive factor in the Hoover defeat. Mats employed a zone defense
that the Cleaners found hard to
penetrate for very many shots
while it did seem however that
Schiltz was able to work himself in
for shots, very few of which he
missed.
Hoover girls team showed ■ up
surprisingly well against the highly
touted Cleveland squad and though
they never held the lead made it
a fight all the way after they recovered from their first half scare
or whatever it might have been.
Stella Walsh turned in a sweet
performance as was to be expected
and though she tallied 11 points,
passed up a great many more as
she served as a "feeder" to breaking teammates. Two other girls of
the Olympics, Korec and Diksen,
also scored 11 points.
Annabell "Johnny" Richards was composed of former Akron U and

mean just that. One-handed and

of the floor found the hoop with
unerring accuracy.
Hitting their stride right at the
outset, the Clevelanders piled up a
10 to 0 advantage before Hoovers
could score, the first period ending 16 to 8. Holding Hoovers to

Mats, Inc., Olympics, Beat Hoover Teams
The Hoover representative teams
fared rather badly on Saturday
night as they went down to defeat
before Mats, Inc., and Stella
Walsh's Polish Olympic teams by
scores of 41 to 33 and 42 to 27.
Despite the prevailing flu epidemic, the games drew a fair crowd
but the basketball they saw was
far from being top-flight ball.
They did see it on the part of the
Mat team and to quite an extent
through portions of the girls game.
Had it not been for Evan
Schiltz, the boys team would have
taken ,a terrific- shellacking as the
latter poured 22 points through the
hoop to lead all scorers. The big
guns in the Mats attack were Deck-
erd and "Miller, "who tallied 26
points between them.
The visiting Canton aggregation
led throughout the game as the two
aforementioned boys displayed
deadly accuracy. It was Miller's
terrific work under the backboard
that enabled him to garner most
of his points.
Weakness in ball handling was
a decisive factor in the Hoover defeat. Mats employed a zone defense
that the Cleaners found hard to
penetrate for very many shots
while it did seem however that
Schiltz was able to work himself in
for shots, very few of which he
missed.
Hoover girls team showed ■ up
surprisingly well against the highly
touted Cleveland squad and though
they never held the lead made it
a fight all the way after they recovered from their first half scare
or whatever it might have been.
Stella Walsh turned in a sweet
performance as was to be expected
and though she tallied 11 points,
passed up a great many more as
she served as a "feeder" to breaking teammates. Two other girls of
the Olympics, Korec and Diksen,
also scored 11 points.

mean just that. One-handed and
overhead shots plus one underhand throw from near the center
of the floor found the hoop with
unerring accuracy.
Hitting their stride right at the
outset, the Clevelanders piled up a
10 to 0 advantage before Hoovers
could score, the first period ending 16 to 8. Holding Hoovers to
two points in the second the Olympics tallied 10 to leave them on
